According to officials familiar with the intelligence report, the word "surprise" is used more than a dozen times to describe U.S. failures to anticipate or discover Chinese arms development.
A metal scrap dealer told me a few years ago that he was expanding his business because demand for his precious and non-precious metals was huge. The buyers were Chinese. He said the last time a foreign country (Japan) bought up all USA's metals, they built war machines to attack us. He said China was readying to do this to USA again. History repeats itself, and we're supposed to be surprised?
Yes, my son, who works for Nucor steel, says the reason steel is so high now is because a HUGE amount of it goes to China.
This, along with the stories I hear about China's stranglehold on our economy, worries me very much.
Not to mention their little pet with the nukes in North Korea.
